FYI: my first game "Rest in Pieces" - famous characters doing a magnificent seven in a nursing home.......

Having failed to find an appropriate alternative system, I've decided that my fully featured multi-genre rules "Manifold" are just TOO fully featured for such a short slot.

So I'll be running the game using a "hack"* of my "Code" system - tentatively (and not well) titled "The Code of Twilight and Wisdom". Not quite RED the RPG but close.

You know the score - 2d6 shenanigans, a wafer thin rule system that let's us just kick back, enjoy the story and go gonzo if we want to. (I've statted up Elvis and Hitler so far and they both work....)

Dunno if the good Doctor will bother to update the game details at this late stage, but I just thought I'd inform y'all.

* is it a "hack" when you wrote the original game or is it a "beta"?

Thanks. I may also change the game description a bit if that's ok. The more I work on it the more intoxicated I get by the possibilities. The players can play ANYONE as long as they're famous and dead. I keep changing my mind about who I'd want to play......

Out on "the moors" is a nursing home. Not just any nursing home. This one is home to famous people. I mean, seriously famous. Household names. Across the world. But, for some reason, the world thinks they’re dead. (Apart from all those Urban Legends….)

That’s YOU! You get to be ANYONE. You'll create your own character. The only rules are:

• they've got to be SERIOUSLY famous.• the world thinks they’re dead.• they could - theoretically - still be around. (Don’t sweat it though – there’s always cloning and cryogenics.)We’ll be using my own The Code of Twilight and Wisdom rules – a hack of my super-light, fun, “Code” system. Whoever you want to make, the rules make it easy.

Now you’re enjoying a well earned retirement. Comfort and luxury, all day, every day. But now all the phone lines, fibre links, Internet and cell phone connections have gone dead. This could be nothing. But it could be somebody's past is coming back to haunt them and - given the enemies some of you made when the world thought you were still alive - you could be in for a busy night.

Good news, you're living with some of the most famous and resourceful people that ever lived. Not so good news is that you've all got a few years on the clock and all you're armed with is a Zimmer frame and a colostomy bag.

Based on the wonderful film Bubba Ho-Tep (Elvis vs. a Mummy in a nursing home) with elements of an episode of the New Avengers, The Magnificent Seven, The Alamo and countless other epic stories.
